Publisher's Synopsis
Discover a surprising convergence between Karl Popper's New Enlightenment and the ancient philosophy of the Middle Way-two approaches that reject extremes and embrace flexibility, uncertainty, and continuous learning.
Rather than chasing absolute truths, both philosophies promote a dynamic process of forming hypotheses, testing them against reality, adjusting, and striving for progress without claiming final answers. As Aristotle observed, true excellence lies in finding the balanced middle.
In Karl Popper and the Philosophy of the Middle Way, author Yechiel Gilboa skillfully explores these ideas through the works of Confucius, Aristotle, Maimonides, and Popper, alongside real-world examples from technology, business, and global communication.
This book offers practical insights for navigating complex decisions and bridging the deepening divides of modern society. Drawing from Jewish philosophy and contemporary challenges, it provides a timely guide for anyone seeking wisdom in an increasingly polarized world.
